Exactly, Vidar! And together with the facts that Murry AFAIK always are
mentioned alone in the credits (obiously because the writer is unknown)
there is no way the readers could know that Murry worked an other way than
Barks!

That's a pretty new publication so it doesn't change my argument. It's
possible that this stuff about Paul Murry was mentioned in the giant book
"Vi Mikke og Langbein" though, but as someone else previosly has staded -
those books were rather expensive and were thus not read by everyone.

Sigvald :-)
